     Action
 
     Marks the beginning of an ELSE block.
 
     Syntax
 
     ELSE
 
     Remarks
 
     An ELSE block consists of any executable statements between the
     ELSE statement and the next END IF statement at the same IF
     level. The matching END IF statement must appear before any ELSE
     or ELSE IF statements of the same IF level.
 
     Control may not be transferred into an ELSE block from outside
     that block.
